quilting

Hello! Are you so excited about it being 2015? I am looking forward to so much of what’s ahead, but before I get too far ahead of myself, I thought I would look back at my resolutions from last year and give myself a grade for how well I did! Since there is…

I have been a little quiet around here, because I have been trying to get some stuff done, before I go out of town for a couple of weeks (I’m leaving for the USA to go see my nephew tomorrow!) so real world issues have taken over my blogging time 🙂 I have Korean…

I’ve finally gotten around to making Isaac’s quilt, it has been over a year since I found the fabric, but I have been so busy, I haven’t gotten around to actually making it yet! I used this Moda quilt as inspiration; I thought it went with the viking theme well, as it reads sort of…

Yesterday I finally decided to get my rear in gear and make something (I’ve been in a funk, I have so much I want to do, so much I need to do, and so much I HAVE to do, I have been stuck with triaging order.) Anyway, I keep saying I want to make a…

So I haven’t even started working on Emmie’s maxi-dress because I recently had some plans change around here, instead of going to the US for July with my whole family, now only I am going for a week, to see my Gramma (who will be visiting from South Africa,) and be part of Sarah’s baby…

So Here’s the tutorial I wrote for my winning So You Think You’re Crafty RIT Dye week craft. I am bringing it home today so that it is on my blog too. I am very excited for Monday, because SYTYC has its last week of my season! (I’m pretty happy with what I made, although…

Hand Dyed and Screen Printed Quilt. This quilt top was completely made from white cotton fabric that I hand dyed, and then screen printed with white pearl pigment. There are 13 different colors of dye, in this quilt. Yup, I said THIRTEEN!!! I chose colors that made me think of summer and fun (mostly because it…

I have been trying to find inspiration fabric for a quilt for Isaac since this last Summer. I made a pirate quilt with my sweet sister Sarah, and Emmie claimed it before Isaac even knew what was going on (here’s the link for more on that quilt), and then later the next week I made…

I recently realized that I only posted a picture of the tree skirt I made a couple of Christmases ago on my facebook, so I thought I would quickly put a picture of it here, especially since I am changing everything this Christmas, so I had better get SOME mileage out of it while I can! I made this…
